System Business Officers

"The supply chain has been a challenge since the onset of the pandemic. Our broadline distributor, (Sysco) on a daily basis  shorts or outs us completely on numerous items. Critical items, such as proteins,  have been sourced by the pallet and are currently warehoused in the freezer at Central Foods. Regarding the other items, the team works daily with Sysco accounts representatives to find acceptable substitutes. Most often, an acceptable substitute is sourced but the challenges include  nutritional content being different and the price may not be the same as the preferred product.  

Manufacturers are getting hit on numerous fronts. Not only are they struggling with labor shortages, they source many of their products from overseas, (packaging) which are now held up in the east and west coast ports.

Transportation is another issue they're dealing with. Manufacturers and distributors  are struggling to find enough truck drivers to move the product. All of these labor problems have magnified the supply chain issues."

Are others experiencing the same issues and are out-sourced dining services doing any better than in-house services?

Thanks
